BMW V Series Coming! STOP THE PRESS!!!
Quote:
BMW's chairman Helmut Panke confirmed at the Geneva Auto Show that his company finally has serious plans to build an MPV. The vehicle, which will likely be called the "V5" will be designed to compete head-to-head with the Mercedes R-Class following its introduction to the American market, likely in about two-and-a-half to three years. The V5 will share both its platform and its assembly location of Spartanburg, South Carolina, with the X5 SUV.
A V3 is also on the drawing board and you guessed it. It will share it's platform with the X3.

What is up with this????
Is BMW becoming one of those quantity , over produced brands that tries to make cars for every freaking personality in the galaxy?!!!!
I'm scared!!! Say goodbye quality and high resale values and hello consumerism...

Its probably being built to compete with the new Mercedes-Benz B and R classes. Oddly they look just like that.

From my point of view, it's not an ulgy car.BMW is making it for familes that have many children.A family of 6 couldn't buy a 3 series nor the 7 series because of space reason.
BMW targets it for big families who wants a BMW.Since Mercedes already started building the B-class, BMW have to compete with it's rival.

I meant BMW in general, not anyone here, after rereading it sounded like a personal attack, sorry. |

actually, the change was him being promoted to head of all BMW group design, meaning he now controls the styling of both cars and bikes. just look at the new R1200 GS - it shows.
